XMR Stak miner 2.2.0- The original XMR Stak miner 2.2.0 but now with 0.0% dev fee
- Colored output
- After a share is submitted you see the total amount of shares + percent of good shares
- After a share is submitted you see the total hashrate
First of all before you start a war about why i removed the dev fee. I came across
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2256917.msg22910084#msg22910084. The is message of Wolf0, i believe he is the original xmr-stak developer but someone stole his code, added 2.0% dev fee and published it. I did some research about this (which i am not gonna explain here) and i found this inappropriate. Therefor i started to modify the original xmr-stak miner and removed the 2.0% dev fee because the fee is going to someone where it shouldnt.
Since im in some telegram groups i posted my modified xmr-stak miner and they were all excited. Mainly this group:
https://t.me/etnpool, was very excited. They liked the colors and the extra output and asked me to publish it. I'm not a known developer so ofcourse there is no trust that i really did remove the fee and didn't put a virus in it so therefor i am publishing 2 files.
1. Binaries for Windows
2. Complete "project" so you can review my code and build it yourself (building tutorial included)
I present you: XMR Stak miner 2.2.0 with colored output + extra's!
How to useFirst run: - double click xmr-stak.exe
- Go for curreny monero
- Fill out the pool:
nl.etnpool.net:5555- Fill out your wallet address: etnkHRKHRdACYy82xSYYVjet1AnSzZ96UJNL5Ujgn28FC1fbqzGMUWETshCJt8fvgy8ATqkLVMNDSTm

- Fill out the rest of the questions
Finetuning:- After you have done this there will be a few .txt files. Depending on amd or nvidia there will be a amd.txt or nvidia.txt along with cpu.txt and config.txt
GPU mining- In this example i use a RX 580 4GB card, open up amd.txt and search for the following code:
"gpu_threads_conf" : [
// gpu: Ellesmere memory:3712
// compute units: 36
{ "index" : 0,
"intensity" : 1536, "worksize" : 16,
"affine_to_cpu" : false, "strided_index" : true
},
// gpu: Ellesmere memory:3712
// compute units: 36
{ "index" : 1,
"intensity" : 1536, "worksize" : 16,
"affine_to_cpu" : false, "strided_index" : true
},
],
- Play around with the intensity and worksize for the best results
CPU mining- In this example i use a i7 8700k, open up cpu.txt and search for the following code:
"cpu_threads_conf" :
[
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : false, "affine_to_cpu" : 0 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : false, "affine_to_cpu" : 2 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : false, "affine_to_cpu" : 4 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : false, "affine_to_cpu" : 6 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : false, "affine_to_cpu" : 8 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : false, "affine_to_cpu" : 10 },
],
You can play around with
low_power_mode and
no_prefetch options to finetune this. There is a complete readme in every .txt file explaining all the options
Pool setup- The pool settings you filled out the first run are stored in config.txt
- In this example i use
etnpool.net- Look for this part:
"pool_list" :
[
{"pool_address" : "nl.etnpool.net:5555", "wallet_address" : "etnkHRKHRdACYy82xSYYVjet1AnSzZ96UJNL5Ujgn28FC1fbqzGMUWETshCJt8fvgy8ATqkLVMNDSTmEUx5q5kJ54Tp8JfrET9", "pool_password" : "x", "use_nicehash" : false, "use_tls" : false, "tls_fingerprint" : "", "pool_weight" : 1 },
],
- At the complete bottom there is also an option to get results via API, search for
"httpd_port" and edit it like this:
- Start the miner, when you navigate to 127.0.0.1:16000 you will see something like this:
Enjoy the miner! If you have question you can stake them here. I am not the original developer so i am not improving hashrate or such things, the only thing i did was added extra output and a colored output.

- Compile files.zip for the devs/ malware checkers
For the future, i will make a git/ subversion repo for you, since im not a die hard developer i have no experience in this, if you want to help setup one, let me know!
Update 20-01-18Due to a bug in Visual Studio CUDA (Nvidia) didn't work. I recompiled and nvidia cards should be working now
